I think he is refering to his mechanical problem .He mentioned he thought that he hurt teh front diff.Ciuldnt have been those rev limiter launches though

[Erv]

no launching off the rev limiter, launching off the 2 step

as it is if i can find the green for an upgraded front Diff I will have no problems with the 2 step launches, until i snap an axle or tie rod. As the upgraded diff will have a lifetime warranty

[EvoLady]

hope you can get it fixed soon Erv!

[Erv]

Well the more i think about the issue the less i believe it is the diff.

The "hopping" only come on at full lock. Problem is, there is absolutely no play in the axles, neither is bleeding, the CV joints are still connected, so I am dumbfounded. I was thinking it could possibly be a tie rod, but, can't justify it only happening at full lock.

Honestly, I haven't noticed it since the auto x. Maybe subaru's have metal that magically heals them. One thing I have thought about is it came on after I hot lapped the car 4 runs in a row. Since I haven't experienced it since then I wonder if it was something to do with the sway/link's.

That almost sounds like what an old military deuce-and-a-half would do on sharp turns if the 6WD was engaged. The different turning radii of all of those wheels would cause binding in the drive train with a transfer case and no center diff. It'd jerk the wheel right out of your hands, IIRC.

[Erv]

Chuck there is TONS of resistance and you can feel it in the wheel, but, it doesn't rip out of your hands or anything.

I think it is the center diff Erv ... the front and rear wheels were chirping and that's not supposed to happen. A suspension issue wouldn't cause that either. Sorry man ...

[Erv]

Actually I believe it was an oiling issue after doing alot of researach into it.

If that was the case it would explain why it has gone away.

You could have broke something when you hit the reflector box.. maybe?

[Erv]

nope, the reflector box was tackled by my cattle guard
